Several volcanic eruptions worldwide have been observed by ground based weatherradars, however most of these observations were performed by single polarization radars. This work shows results of the first massive eruption observed by a dual polarized weather radar in South America related to Calbuco volcano, which occurred between 22-23 April 2015.
